I recently finished my first non-scarf knitting project: a teddy bear. All in all, it turned out to be really easy and I'm guessing it only took me a total of 4 or 5 hours to knit. I hit a snag when I got to the cassock (I'm adapting the sweater pattern that was with the bear, and I cannot figure it out). Luckily, the biretta was easy enough (18 rounds on size 2 dpns, and then pinched together and sewn at the top), so at least he's got that. Now he just needs a name...
